FARM INFO
Traditional Costa Rican coffee production holds a special intensity and level of rhythmic precision unique to the region. The resulting coffees contain flavors of purely poetic potency, so it's no surprise this lot earned the name El Poeta! This rich cacophony of browned sugar tastes begins and ends with Cafe de Altura de San Ramon – a state-of-the-art mill designed to receive coffee cherries from many small farms and consistently process this well-balanced regional blend.

To maintain this harmonious blend of local coffees, Cafe De Altura de San Ramon engages in high-quality and sustainable production techniques.

Cherries are placed in a large tank with water to remove the less dense and damaged beans that float. Next, the cherries are depulped and pass through a demucilager that mechanically strips the mucilage from the beans. All of this is done with a recycling water system. A series of dryers gently reduce the moisture to 11 percent in a matter of just over 72 hours. Drying coffee in the traditional way can take between six to fourteen days. With every detail of the post harvest operation covered, producers can turn their full attention to farm management practices with a special emphasis on sustainable practices.

Why we chose this coffee: Coffee processing is time intensive and requires a great amount of water. Cafe de Altura De San Ramon’s modernization and efficiency in operations reduces the amount of water required, and shrinks the time and space needed to process coffee. This also allows the producers to focus more of their energy on sustainable practices on their farms. The outcome is a consistent and quality cup that speaks volumes not only about the care invested in the coffee, but in the conservation of our precious resources as well.

Korofeigu coffee

Korofeigu BREW

$19.50

CUP PROFILE: Honey and tropical fruit aromas lead into a full bodied cup of savory caramel and citrus with a lingering chocolate finish.

ROAST PROFILE: Medium
COUNTRY: Papua New Guinea
REGION: Bena, Eastern Highlands
ELEVATION: 1400- 1800 masl
PROCESS: Washed
OTHER: Organic farm, traceable, sustainable

FARM INFO
The Korofeigu Organic certification program has been quite impactful on the livelihood of participants. In addition to higher premiums for their coffee, through various initiatives, the Korofeigu Farmer’s Cooperative Society has increased access to farmer trainings, as well as regular social and healthcare workshops. The initiatives also provide extensive work on HIV/AIDS prevention, financial management, gender equality awareness, coffee husbandry and certification standards and procedures.

In early 1945, as the war in New Guinea was subsiding, four village plots in the Korofeigu area were identified by the administration for coffee planting by the villages. Thirteen teenage villagers from Korofeigu and other surrounding areas were selected to be sent to a newly created school for training in coffee production.

From these small plantings in and around Korofeigu, coffee has become the most important commodity. Today, it provides the major source of income for a third of the country’s population.

Cultivation and Processing

The mountainous and moist area, rich with native shade trees, is ideal for coffee cultivation. A mix of the Arusha and Bourbon varieties grow in the loam soil at an altitude ranging between 1,400 - 1,800 meters above sea level by numerous smallholder producers.

Wet processing is done at the farm. Cherries are hand-picked and pulped the same day. Next, the coffee is fermented in small vats or buckets for 36 - 48 hours. Then, the coffee is fully washed. The parchment is then dried – oftentimes on beds constructed from simple bush materials – for up to a week. Farmers bring their dried parchment to the collection point where it changes ownership at premium price levels.

CUP PROFILE: Aromas of tropical fruit and delicate florals lead to a juicy cup of brown sugar, caramel and chocolate.

ROAST PROFILE: Medium
COUNTRY: Mexico
REGION: Zongolica, Veracruz
ELEVATION: 1250-1,700 masl
PROCESS: Washed
OTHER: Single Origin

FARM INFO
Mexico Zongolica coffee is also called WPZ – “Women Power Zongolica!” – by the 20 women who grew and produced it. The women who contributed to WPZ are also part of NKG Bloom, an initiative of Neumann Kaffee Gruppe (NKG) to ensure the long-term viability of green coffee supplies and provide smallholder farmers with the opportunities and resources they need to run their farms at full potential and enter pathways out of poverty.

The Veracruz region is deeply influenced by the rich, ancestral heritage of its people, most of whom identify as part of the Nahuas indigenous group. Across generations, the Nahuas have shared their language and wisdom about plants, rivers, animals, mountains, the planet and the universe through storytelling by their elders.

Coffee farms in Zongolica are agro-ecosystems, meaning the farms take into account the impact of the farming well beyond the farm and work to balance the energy and nutrients to preserve the region’s biodiversity. Intercropping and forest conservation are among the practiced tactics.

The coffee was pulped with hand-cranked de-pulpers, washed and dried on patios for 15 days. Twenty producers contributed to this lot, and each adhered to the same practices on her own farm.
